such a cool design. I was initially worried about the durability of it, but the chair lasted through my most recent backpacking trip. Hopefully many more to come! The best thing I could say is that I fell asleep in the chair! how awesome is that? I fell asleep in a backpacking chair it was that comfortable! My only gripe I guess is if it could be a little lighter. I know some of the competitors have the entire chair at about 1 lb (granted no head rest), so you would think if a chair is missing a couple of legs because they are trekking poles that you are already bringing, then it could at least match the weight as some of the others, but regardless, for the price and quality thus far I am satisfied. I would rather it be bombproof and weigh a few ounces more than try and shave weight at the expense of durability. Looking forward to see what a V3 can bring to the table. Also, the tough part is that if you are a trekking pole tent user like I am, you have to consider logistics of having additional poles if you are keeping your tent up and using the chair.

Hi! I borrowed this chair on the first backpacking trip I'd taken in 25 years and boy, was I glad I had it! It was worth the extra weight and the poles were great: sturdy, not too heavy. I also LOVE the high back of the seat itself. Other backpacking chairs that are lighter have lower backs and you still have to hold your head up when lounging. With the Get Out Gear TrekChair, you can lean back, lean back, and it is Super comfy, almost like being in a hammock! I am so glad I had this with me. My only comment is that it could be lighter overall. If it were just a few oz. lighter, this would make the chair and poles a A+ for me! In addition, they do not list anything about their products being sustainably and ethically sourced and made. This is super important for me as a consumer. I'd like to see this listed on the mission page of the website. For these reasons, I gave the chair a 4 and not a 5! Thank you guys and Aloha Nui Loa!

When I am hiking, I am always looking to reduce my carry weight. I truly love that this chair uses your hiking poles to form the structure of the chair, allowing you to combine two hiking essentials into one light package. I was expecting the poles to be of inferior quality since they were also used as chair legs, but they are high-quality hiking poles with comfy hand grips and various adjustable lengths. The chair was sturdy and comfy, and a great addition to my hike. Highly recommend!

First impressions this chair is quiet comfortable, the only downside for me is in the recline position the bar is resting in between your cheeks and rather unpleasant feeling. Other than that in the normal seated position I really enjoy this chair and will be taking this on an upcoming elk hunt next month.
I do think this is may be difficult for an older person to get out of being so low, even with height adjustment. My wife didn’t like the side to side rocking and felt like it felt unstable, despite that I do think this is a durable piece of equipment.

Great poles and chair combo. Well made and quality materials.
